The Zafranama 2213. Deadlands. Outside the Great Wall of Aryana. Boredom and slavery plague the Empire. Aryan-Athmans maintain caste apartheid through religion. By divine law all religions within the Empire must embrace Athman Caste Society. Those religions that stand outside of Athman Caste Society are rewritten and assimilated as though they had always belonged to the 'divine' society. Within the Great Wall of Aryana there is no truth or justice, only those who suffer from too much and those who suffer from too little. Outlaws who live outside the Great Wall in the Deadlands try to help. Some sabotage infrastructure and prepare for war. Some run an underground 'train' to help slaves escape caste bondage. Others collect the old books and try to illuminate the Empire with the way it was before the Collapse and Great War. But the outlaws are silenced, silenced as spiritual lepers, lechers unworthy of Athman Caste Society. This, then, is the Dark Age. The age where spirituality is tyranny and tyranny is spirituality. The age where cruelty is justice and justice is cruelty. The age where darkness is light and light is darkness. This, then, is the Age of Kali. The old librarian, Banda Singh, leads a group of outlaws on a mission to prevent the Aryan-Athmans from incinerating sacred artifacts and texts salvaged from the old world. As the outlaws follow Banda through the deadly ruins of the Deadlands he relates stories from the old world; stories of how the old world fell to the corporations; of how the corporations warred against one another for resources; of how a new caste was established to dominate and control society through all religions; of how old gods were turned into new slaves; of how the ruling corporate class, the Athmans, were able to destroy and assimilate all religions into their caste hierarchy; and of how Sundri and her outlaws-the Outlaws of the Dead-ran a 'train' out of the Empire to help untouchables escape caste slavery. Stories and legends of heroes past who did all they could to fight the spiritual tyrants and corporate gods of the Dark Age.
The Butterfly and other fables The caterpillars have isolated themselves from the rest of the forest. Industrious and technologically advanced, they built a Silk Palace to protect themselves from the outside world. Eventually they forget that they are as much a part of the forest as the forest is a part of them. Living artificial lives, they soon forget how to become real butterflies. Instead of becoming real butterflies, they work all their lives in repetitious jobs, collecting 'glitter' to buy a butterfly suit upon retirement. But one caterpillar doesn't want to work a meaningless job, or save glitter, or buy a butterfly suit. She wants to use her time to become something real. This, then, is the story of a brave little caterpillar who leaves the Silk Palace and braves the perils of the forest to become a real butterfly.

In the final years of the Common Collapse the last of the corporations warred against one another until the American Trade Union and the Aryan Indus Alliance were formed and an armistice was established, dividing the world into two hemispheres. The New American Republic seized control in the West. The Aryan Empire seized control in the East. Within the walls of the Republic and the Empire citizens live free, unburdened lives made possible by a seemingly inexhaustible slave force: Untouchables. In the east, corporate Rajas and Ranis use untouchables to build their cities, conduct their experiments, and satisfy the boundless bloodlust of their populace. Slave markets are rampant and slave trading is an everyday affair. Rajas and Ranis scramble for land and human resources in the Deadlands. Idleness and boredom plague the empire. Death, disease and hunger plague the Deadlands. Outlaws are gathering in the mountains. A powerful force against tyranny is emerging. But those who champion the oppressed are ridiculed by the media, silenced by the elite, and disappeared by the Hanuman Guard. Cruelty is justice. Hate is compassion. Love is lust. Darkness is light, and light is darkness-it is the age of kali. RAD agent Jivan Rai must fabricate a news story to divert and distract attention from the assassination of Kulwar Patwa Singh Gill. Jacob Varma continues to help Brahman and Shudra slaves escape ruling caste bondage.
